The Magic Crayons

Max, a curious boy with messy curly hair and freckles, discovers a small glossy box in his attic on a sunny Saturday. The box has rainbow stripes and a golden star on its lid, and inside are crayons with glowing tips. Max soon learns that anything he draws comes to life, from a red bicycle to a playground in his backyard and a friendly green dinosaur with a blue neckerchief who joins him for the day.

Growing bold, Max draws a huge hedge maze around his house without thinking it through, and he and the dinosaur become trapped inside. This tale by Yavuz DEMİRKIRAN follows Max as he learns to slow down and plan before he draws, discovering that imagination works best with patience and clear thinking. Young readers and adults reading aloud can enjoy this gentle story about creativity, responsibility and friendship, which can be read on Online Masal.
